Charity Highlight

We love chucking paint and making people smile, but we also think it is important to give back. As a for profit company, we are excited we have the opportunity to partner with charities and help shine a light on their extraordinary work within society. We are thrilled to be working with the Ottawa Cancer Foundation.

Each year more than 7,000 people will be devastated to learn cancer has entered their family. By becoming a Cancer Champion today, you will be helping to provide them hope for the future.

Official Sponsors

2017 is going to be even more fun than before! I can’t wait until The Color Run hits my city!

I had a blast playing in the foam with my kids – I may have been more excited than they were!
